As the seasons change and we transition into spring, it's the perfect time for a refresh. Your skin needs a different level of care with the warmer months and a good spring skincare haul can leave your routine prepped and ready for sunnier days. Plus, there are a number of environmental factors that come with the fresh air of springtime. Here are my top 5 esthetician-approved tips to give your routine a good spring clean!
1. Out with the Old, In with the New
Just like the clothes that have sat in your closet for one season too long, skincare products can do the same. Spring cleaning your skincare routine starts with tossing any expired products. This includes checking for changes in color, smell, or texture—your skincare should always feel fresh and work effectively.
All of our products have an expiration date and every product has a PAO on the bottle. This refers to the Period After Opening, which is the recommended life of the product once you use it. It is denoted by the symbol that looks like a cap opening with a number in it. Our Glow Pure Tinted Mineral SPF even includes its expiration date on the box!
2. Light as a Feather
Winter months tend to call for heavier, more hydrating formulas as the air is drier. But as we step into spring, consider lightening your routine. Opt for a more hydrating gel moisturizer instead of thicker creams. You can also swap out any heavy oils for lighter serums that won’t feel too greasy with the warmer weather.
The Brilliant Barrier Water Cream is one of my favorite moisturizers that I have ever used as a Licensed Esthetician. It is lightweight, hydrates, smooths, and soothes the appearance of skin, while also refining the look of pores and texture. It is ideal for normal to oily and combination skin or to be used during the warmer, spring and summer months.
3. SPF is your BFF
Spring means more sunlight and longer days. As an esthetician, I hope you have been consistent with sunscreen during the colder months but if not, now is the time to do so! Our Glow Pure Tinted Mineral SPF protects, perfects, and moisturizes. It is formulated with a safe mineral formula, free from chemical UV filters and is reef-friendly.
Esthetician Tip: Wear as a makeup primer or glow-and-go for the day!
4. Smooth Things Over
After months of cold winter air, our skin might look a little dull from dead skin build-up. Gentle exfoliation can help assist in that glowing, spring skin!
Our Wake Up Radiant AHA Peel enhances the look of dull skin for a more radiant appearance, firms the look of fine lines, and smooths the look of rough skin. I recommend this exfoliant for those with dry, dull, dehydrated, and aging skin.
Our Refine It! BHA Liquid Exfoliant refines the look of pores and breakouts, smooths the look of bumpy texture, and reduces the appearance of dark spots. I recommend this exfoliant for those with oily, combination, or even blemish-prone skin.
To help smooth things over as we transition into spring, I recommend exfoliating 1-3 times weekly for best results.
5. Antioxidant Armor
Spring is the time to boost your skin’s defense against environmental stressors like pollution, pollen, and sun damage. Antioxidants like vitamin C help brighten the skin and protect it from free radical damage. It is important to add a vitamin C serum or a product with antioxidants into your morning routine every day.
Our Brighten & Even Serum reveals a more radiant, even-toned complexion. Designed to combat the look of dark spots, it features innovative ingredients like the superfruit Kakadu Plum, the one of world’s richest natural sources of brightening Vitamin C.
Esthetician Tip: Pair our Brighten & Even vitamin C serum with our Glow Pure Tinted Mineral SPF for the ultimate morning glow! These 2 work together to protect our skin from damaging environmental factors and UV rays.
Spring is the perfect time to declutter and refresh, including your skincare products! By swapping out heavy winter creams for lighter formulas and incorporating a few essential steps, you’ll have your skin ready for the warmer months ahead.
